    This document contains 3 chemistry problems related to thermodynamics. Problem 1 asks to estimate the ambient pressure in Denver relative to sea level, modeling the atmosphere as an isothermal ideal gas column. Problem 2 asks how long it would take to heat 20 kg of water from 20°C to 30°C with a 0.25 kW stirrer, assuming no heat loss. Problem 3 has two parts: a) calculate the enthalpy of liquid water at 180°C and 1002.7 kPa, and b) calculate the internal energy and enthalpy changes for the process of bringing that water to vapor state at 300°C and 1500 kPa.

    QUESTION 1
    The variation of fluid pressure with height is described by the differential equation:

    Here, is the specific density, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. For an ideal gas, = MP/RT,
    where M is the molar mass and R is the universal gas constant. Modelling the atmosphere as an
    isothermal column of ideal gas at 10 C, estimate the ambient pressure in Denver, where z = 1 (mile)
    relative to sea level. For air, take M = 29 g/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol.K. (Note 1 mile = 1609.344 m).

    QUESTION 2
    A tank containing 20 kg of water at 20 C is fitted with a stirrer that delivers work to the water at the
    rate of 0.25 kW. How long does it take for the temperature of the water to rise to 30 C if no heat is
    lost from the water? For water, Cp = 4.18 kJ/kg.C.

    QUESTION 3
    Liquid water at 180 C and 1002.7 kPa has an internal energy (on an arbitrary scale) of 762.0 kJ/kg
    and a specific volume of 1.128 cm3/g.
    a. What is its enthalpy?
    b. The water is brought to the vapour state at 300 C and 1500 kPa, where its internal energy is
    2784.4 kJ/kg and its specific volume is 169.7 cm3/g. Calculate U and H for the process.
